Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Lyrics

Houdini's still stuck in that Doctorow book.
The one place he can never escape,
And your voice on the phone is like one of those paintings
Where everything loses its shape.
And the girl 'cross the street is as light on her feet as sunlight bouncing off chrome
And I'm sad, sad, sad, sad, and faraway from home.

One I was standing on a Dublin street corner,
I heard a fiddler pierce the veil of illusion. 
Once I got plastered at my best friend's bar mitzvah
And once I lived in a perfect confusion. 
O, and once I was eleven and once I was just atoms and once I was a hilltop in Rome.
Now I'm sad, sad, sad, sad, and faraway from home.

O lie dee, dee, de de dee, dee dee,
De de dee, dee dee dee, de de dee, de de dee.

Now a kiss is just a flower that a bee could return from
And do his little dance at the hive.
Perhaps it's worth mentioning as I write this song down
I am the happiest fucker alive
For the seashore cries out for a painter to paint it
And the wind whips the water into foam
And I'm sad, sad, sad, sad, and faraway from home. 

So lie deedee, de de dee, dee dee,
De de dee, dee dee dee, de de dee, de de dee.
